Unpacking the H3CR-F8N Twin Timer Specification
The Omron H3CR-F8N isn’t just any timer; it’s a specialized twin timer designed for applications requiring cyclical control with distinct ON and OFF periods, initiating with the ON cycle (Flicker ON Start). This model stands out in the H3CR-F series for its flexibility and reliability. Its solid-state nature means no moving parts in the timing mechanism, contributing to a longer operational life compared to electromechanical alternatives.
Understanding the core specification is key. It operates across a broad 100 to 240 VAC power supply range, making it suitable for global applications without needing different models for various voltage standards. The compact DIN 48 x 48 mm size allows for space-saving panel mounting, a common requirement in industrial automation cabinets. Its plug-in design simplifies installation and replacement, minimizing downtime.
Flexible Timing Range: 0.05 s to 300 h for Diverse Automation Needs
One of the most compelling features of the Omron H3CR-F8N is its incredibly wide timing range. You can set both the ON-time and OFF-time independently, anywhere from a brief 0.05 seconds up to a lengthy 300 hours (0.05 s to 300 h). This vast adjustability (time ranges) makes the timer exceptionally versatile, catering to a multitude of applications, from rapid cycling processes to very slow, long-duration events.
Imagine needing a pump to run for 10 minutes every 8 hours, or a warning light to flash briefly every second. The H3CR-F8N handles both scenarios effortlessly. The ability to have off-times can be set independently and so combinations of vastly different durations are possible – think a long on- or off-time and short on- or off-time and short off- cycle. This precise control over on- and off-times allows engineers to fine-tune system behavior for optimal efficiency and performance, receiving crucial operational feedback.
Mastering Flicker On Start Operations with the Omron H3CR-F Series
The Flicker ON Start operation mode is central to the H3CR-F8N’s functionality. When power is applied, the timer immediately energizes its output (contact closes) for the duration of the set ON-time. After the ON-time elapses, the output de-energizes for the set OFF-time. This cycle repeats as long as power is supplied to the input. This mode is ideal for applications like warning lights, periodic lubrication systems, or process mixing cycles where the operation must begin immediately upon startup.
The H3CR-F series is renowned for its accuracy and ease of setting. The clear dials allow for quick adjustments, and the solid-state electronics ensure consistent timing performance cycle after cycle. This reliability is critical in automation environments where precise timing directly impacts product quality and process safety.
Effortless Integration: Plug-in Simplicity with 8-Pin Socket
Integrating the H3CR-F8N into your control panel is straightforward thanks to its plug-in design and standard 8-pin (octal socket) base. This allows the timer to be easily mounted onto a DIN rail or panel using a compatible socket (like the Omron P2CF-08 or P3G-08 accessory). Installation involves simply wiring the socket base and then plugging the timer unit in.
This plug-in approach offers significant advantages during maintenance or troubleshooting. If a timer needs replacement, you can quickly swap it out without disturbing the panel wiring, drastically reducing system downtime. The DIN 48 (48 x 48 mm) standard further ensures compatibility with common panel cutouts and mounting hardware. This user-friendly design simplifies both initial setup and long-term system upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flicker ON Start (like the H3CR-F8N) begins the cycle with the output energized (ON period first). Flicker OFF Start begins the cycle with the output de-energized (OFF period first). Choose based on your application’s initial state requirement upon power-up.
You need a standard 8-pin octal socket, such as the Omron P2CF-08 (back connecting) or P3G-08 (front connecting) for DIN rail or panel mounting.
Yes, absolutely. The H3CR-F8N is a twin timer, meaning the ON- and OFF-times can be set independently using the dials on the front face, across the full 0.05s-300h range.
Yes, its wide operating voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC (and 100-125 VDC) makes it compatible with mains power supplies in most regions globally.
